Deux femmes en robe crinoline de style victorien échangeant des éventails, scène d’inspiration 19e siècle.

Period costumes, from corsets to hats.

Historical elegance, tailor-made.

Welcome to Le Bal de Sophie

Here, the thread of time is embroidered by hand.
You step into a singular wardrobe, where gowns still whisper secrets of the boudoir and frock coats carry the scent of fresh powder.

Period costumes, refined underpinnings, evocative accessories… all stitched to measure, in the spirit of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Lend your ear to the fabrics — they have a thousand stories to tell you.

Dreams Made to Measure

A project beyond my collections? How deliciously scandalous!
From a knight’s gambeson to an Edwardian gown, from a corset lost to time to some curious trinket — confide your fancy, and the atelier shall conspire with needle and silk to bring it to life, tailor-made.

Dream Beyond Categories

stitch with thread, but also with purpose

I'm Sophie, a designer of historical costumes inspired by the 18th and 19th centuries.

Each piece I create is crafted with the utmost respect for traditional techniques.
From the choice of fabric to the final stitch, everything passes through my hands — and through my passion for detail.
Because true craftsmanship means time, precision… and a touch of soul in every thread.

If you cherish garments that carry history and savoir-faire…
